In the terrain layer properties, set the texture to Grey, there is a default engine asset you can use for this (EngineAssets\Textures\defaults\16_grey.dds)
Also set the Smoothness of your texture to 0 to test.

After you click paint in the terrain layers window, if you are using 5.5p1, uncheck the "Mask by Slope Angle and Altitude" box.

Create a new Terrain Layer in the Terrain Layer panel.
Create a new terrain material using the Material Editor (Legacy).
Assign the terrain material to the terrain layer.
Paint on the terrain using the new terrain layer. (5.5p1 requires Mask by Altitude and Slope to be UNchecked).

Step by Step;
1. Click Tools->Terrain Editor
2. Click the Paint button at the top of the Terrain Editor panel.
3. Right click Layers->Create Layer at the top of the Terrain Editor panel.
4. Click Tools->Material Editor (Legacy).
5. Create a new material using the Add New Item button.
6. Set the Shader to Terrain.Layer.
7. Set the Diffuse texture to the texture you wish to use.
8. Save the material
9. In the Terrain Editor panel at the bottom, click the folder icon next to the material dialog.
10. Select your material that you just created.
11. Click the Paint button near the bottom of the Terrain Editor Panel
12. Begin painting. (5.5p1 requires Mask by Altitude and Slope to be UNchecked).

You should keep the texture set in the Terrain Editor window as white.dds, or you could try a flat grey texture also.
You could also try setting the Filter Color in the Terrain Editor panel to a light grey also.

If you still have issues, providing the an asset that we can reproduce this issue on our end would be great, as we will need to be able to reproduce the problem to be able to fix if it is a bug.
